She may not be hard to shop for, but she may not speak her needs as quickly as everyone else. She may seem to "have it all". Or, she may carry herself so gracefully with what she has that you have no idea where to start when shopping for her. Whether she is your mom, your girlfriend, your sister, your aunt, or your best friend (or, if you're gathering some great ideas for your own Christmas list), she deserves a gift that is as beautiful as she is, but won't compromise on ethics.

All of these pieces are practical, can fit a wide range of ages/personalities/styles, and of course are made as ethically and sustainably as possible. Each of these brands have been hand selected (by me) for this guide with affordability and practicality in mind, things I've either personally used or think would fit well into a wide variety of lifestyles.

Whoever she is, she is sure to appreciate one of these consciously beautiful gifts.

1. Sustainable Watch || Berg + Betts

Although it's not the smallest of gifts price-wise, a watch is a classic, versatile piece that every woman should have in her wardrobe. Unfortunately, most watches aren't made ethically or sustainably. Berg + Betts is a Canadian watch company that is on a mission to change the timepiece industry for the better. They use deadstock leather from designer brands that would have otherwise been sent to landfill. The other pieces of their watches are made in a Hong Kong factory that they personally monitor closely, and assembled in Canada by their team. Their pieces are beautiful, affordable, and best of all, ethically made.

2. Handmade Scarf || To the Market

A scarf is the perfect simple gift that anyone can wear. They're perfect for all body types and style preferences. This one from To the Market is especially impactful- it was made by artisans in India, providing the maker with a fair wage and a safe, happy workplace.

3. Wool Slippers || Baabuk

What woman doesn't want new slippers for Christmas? Baabuk is a B-Corp certified brand that makes shoes and slippers out of ethically sourced wool. My family is obsessed with ours' and I couldn't recommend a pair for your mom, sister, grandma, friend, aunt, or anyone else more highly.

4. Fair Trade Jewelry || My Fight

My Fight is a fair trade marketplace that employs artisans all over the world, giving them a worldwide market for their beautiful work. Although some of their pieces are on the most expensive side, their jewelry is both unique and affordable. I'm wearing their Silver Bar necklace, but they have a wide variety of jewelry with a variety of prices and styles.

5. Recycled Glass Water Bottle || Earth Hero

An eco-friendly marketplace, EarthHero has become one of my most trust resources for finding ethically made essentials for sustainable living. Everyone can use a high quality water bottle, but this Mandala Recycled Glass Water Bottle is especially perfect for the friend or family member who has been wanting to reduce waste (plus, the design is just too pretty).

6. Artisan Box || Globe In

My favorite ethical subscription service also happens to make the perfect gift. GlobeIn's artisan boxes are designed with a theme in mind and filled with beautiful items handmade by artisans all over the world. This "Love Box" comes with hand-blown wine glasses, fair trade chocolate, and other goodies to make the recipient feel special.

7. Graphic Pullover || Sweet Lupine

Sweet Lupine is an affordably minded ethical boutique with everything from loungewear to accessories and work-wear. Clothes can be tricky to buy for someone else, but a quirky, fun pullover like this "Best Day Ever" tee is perfect on just about anyone.

8. Cookbook || Ten Thousand Villages

For the hostess in your life who "has it all" a new cookbook is sure to add inspiration to her gatherings. This particular cook book from Ten Thousand Villages includes recipes from all over the globe, connecting humanity through a simple love for good food.

9. Simple Necklace || The Giving Keys

The Giving Keys is one of my favorite brands for their innovative designs and, more importantly, their support of people transitioning out of homelessness. Their keys are unisex, and come in a variety of colors, sizes, and word-choices.

10. 2018 Goal Setting Planner|| Pace & Pattern

Christmas is the perfect time to plan and dream for the coming year. A new planner makes a practical and heartfelt gift- especially for those who, like me, value productivity and organization all year long. Pace + Pattern is the planner I'll be using for 2018 and is beautifully curated with space to plan your "intentions" for each quarter, week, and day for the new year.

11. Fedora || Equal Uprise

Fedoras are on trend, but that doesn't mean we should sacrifice ethics to stay current. Equal Uprise sells gorgeous, handmade fedoras in partnership with artisans in Ecuador. They make stunning gifts for anyone on your list and come in a variety of styles and colors.

12. Leather Wallet || Velé

All of Velé's leather pieces are handmade in Spain, by ethically treated, fairly paid artisans. Furthermore, 10% of their profits are sent to Not For Sale, benefiting victims of human trafficking. Their pieces, while not "cheap" are timeless essentials that make the most thoughtful gifts. The "You are Wanted" inscribed on the inside of each send the perfect message to every recipient.
